Highly Personalized Career Services

You come to Berkeley Haas to become a leader who is prepared to turn innovation into impact. We are here to help you identify and pursue the career opportunities that move you forward on that path.

We meet you where you are and partner with you to get you where you’re going. Our small class size means we can collaborate individually with you from beginning to end: helping you identify the industries, roles, and companies that align with your interests, offering coaching to refine your résumé and interviewing skills, and pointing you to assessment tools and resources that support your career goals.

When you are ready to start your job search, we can help you connect to the company, industry, or location that ignites your passion. That includes creating strategies to connect with companies and industries that haven’t yet recruited on campus.

Even better? Career services are available to you over the life of your career, so you can find Berkeley Haas support for every stage.
